First, I will post the overall rules, and then I will post the specifics about this week.

Original rules, as stated by Ubertuna:

It must fit the week's theme.
It must be submitted by the deadline.
It cannot have inappropriate language in it.
It cannot be stolen (if you plagiarize, we will find you).


Also:

The poem must be created for this contest
A user cannot win two weeks in a row (though everyone is welcome to submit every week!)
Only one submission per user will be accepted

As we all know, the winner will recieve a merit, and their poem will be featured on the _Poetry_ page.


OK, on to this week's topic...Again, we are having a style instead of a theme. Also, this week we are having TWO WEEKS to do it, instead of the usual one. Why? Because this will be an EPIC poem. Or, rather, a parody of an epic poem. Generally, epic poetry is very long, and tells the serious story of a heroic figure. Well, this week, the epic figure is YOU! Write a long poem (I'll leave the definition of 'long' up to you, but give it a good go) about the heroic story of you! It can be silly, serious, whatever... just have fun with it. You have two weeks, so have a great time!

The wondrous white
dazzling snow
nature's might
temperatures low.

The trees shed leaves
leaving them barren and drab
against fantastic eves
radiant ice hanging on like a scab

what horrid, evil thing
could stop this crystalline light?
make it melt away,
the cycle tiredly trite

the evil Sun rears it's head
it's grotesque heat
icy beauty bled
killing, cleansing light, photon's fleet

and the ice is gone
the benevolent snow
you can see your lawn
but sight of it comes as your joy goes

Reworked my poem. THIS IS THE OFFICIAL ONE!

I don't see the amount of entries being any reason to extend the date...the date should stay as stated even if there are only few entries, because some may be waiting for another theme. If they can't come up with a poem for this theme or something

but this is only my opinion

The season of spring
Weather seems to sing
Lovely lovely days
Are coming our ways.

The gentle breeze
Blowing in my face
The warm sand
All over the place.

Fall is here.
Another year
is coming to an end.
Summers finished,
Summers gone,
Winter's around the end.

Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours.
The snow starts to fall,
They pack on each other till there tall.


The ending is a bit messed up, so this is not my official entry yet. Still working on it.

The Seasons
By:brooke_1997
Right now is Spring,
Next is Summer, Then
it's Fall, After Fall is
Winter. Soon it will
repeat all over again.

First with Spring. Spring has
sprung! Each Spring has a brand
new beginning with many things
to do. Buds were peeping. Birds
are chirping. Vines are creeping.
Leaves turn green. Bees are
humming. Time for a swim!

Now with Summer. The
time is now. Summer has
come. Too much hot weather,
but its also lots of fun. Swimming,
fishing, and lots more to do. The
rainbow looks so beautiful and so
do you. Oh how i love the Summer.

It's already time for Fall. The
trees are brown, the little leaves
come falling down. They do not
make a sound. Silent. But uh oh,
the wind comes, and off the leaves
go. Making such a crumble sound.
But no more pounding snowballs,
Winter has to wait.

Brrr.. Its Winter. Snowflakes float
gently from the sky. Slowly they fall
passing by. Twirling and whirling in
the sky. Down they come. Going
somewhere they may. On the ground
they lay, until they melt.

No more Winter. No more Fall. No
more Summer. Right now is SPRING!
Enjoy the Spring weather. It wont last that
long. Theres still more seasons to come.
Over and over again. Its a cycle of seasons.

This will be my official entry.

Another year
is coming to an end.
Summers finished,
Summers gone,
Winter's around the bend.

Winter is cold.
Winter is ice.
But winter inside
Is cozy and nice.

Fixed the end up a little.

I have noticed that I have made a typo.

Fall is here.
Another year
is coming to an end.
Summers finished,
Summers gone,
Winter's around the end.


Instead of winters around the end. Change end with 'bend'
